Witness Alexandria Governorate Stable and pleasant weather conditions at night, and citizens are enjoying the Mediterranean Bride Corniche, before the approach of Nawa Qasim, which is more dangerous to the governorate.

Nawa Qasim is considered to be the most difficult and severe winter storm that hits the Mediterranean Sea in winter, and is accompanied by rain and storms, which may be delayed or advanced for days, but they do not disappear, and fishermen and workers in the Alexandria Sea know them by certain names..

It begins in the first week of December every year, usually starting on December 4. Nawah Qasim often lasts between 4 and 5 days, and blows on Alexandria in the form of southwestern winds, severe storms, and heavy rain..

It was given this name in reference to one of the fishermen’s sons, called “Qasim,” who was on a fishing trip during the days of the rainy season, and was drowned, which led to giving it his name. It is described as the most dangerous of the winter rainwaters due to the intensity of its rains and storms.
